Our visit to the Alexander House Hotel in Sussex offered us the first taste (albeit limited) of spring sunshine for this wedding season (though that cold easterly breeze was still very much in attendance). Melanie and Matthew enjoyed a fairly small wedding – and for this, the Alexander House House is always a perfect choice.

The venue is on the sussex Surrey border near East Grinstead – and is great for intimate weddings with a touch of luxury. It’s excellent for photography too, offering a nice blend of classical architectural tones and pretty grounds (think country elegant country retreat). The stairways shot shown in the gallery was actually taken in the spa area of the hotel!
